Overcooked your chicken? Too much salt in that curry? Added a bit too much of onions? If you answered all the questions with a yes, then it’s time to accept the fact that you are not as good as your mom in the kitchen. But help is here, finally! The inexperienced cook in you will be guided by the new SmartyPans, the smart cooking pan.

The chip inside SmartyPans allows it to connect with a smartphone app using Bluetooth. And there are sensors inside the pan that will let it monitor temperature, humidity, and even the weight of ingredients, and the data it collects will be sent to the app. The app will use the data to provide the cook with instructions and will allow him or her to make proper food.

You will be able to choose from two modes: Recipe Mode and Metrics Mode. The first mode will allow you to check out thousands of recipes, while the second mode will give you real time unfiltered info from the pan.

SmartyPans is an Indiegogo project. They have currently raised $1,667, but need to reach $90,000 within the next 26 days. Click this link if you are interested in supporting this campaign and check out the video below which shows Rahul Baxi, the inventor of SmartyPans, talking about his product.

They are calling it the “tablet for the cooking enthusiast”. The Archos ChefPad is an Android 4.1 running tablet that is meant to be used in the kitchen, although no one is going to stop from using it in the garden or elsewhere.

The slate is coming with Chef Apps Zone which will filter through the Play Store to bring you cooking apps. The device features a 1.6GHz dual-core CPU and 1GB of RAM, which should be enough for your selection of apps to work fine, and a 9.7 inch 1024×768 screen.

With the 8GB of storage, you can add a lot of cooking related stuff including cooking lessons which will guide you through your cooking experiments via a pair of speakers. You can even save your own speeches about that special soup all thanks to the built-in mic and take snaps of your spicy salmon with the device’s 2MP cam, and maybe send your works to Gordon Ramsay.

And coming with the tablet is a waterproof silicone case and an adjustable stand which will be very useful while you are video chatting while cooking. The device will be available next month with a price tag of $210. Are you interested?
